She should run for President as an Independent. She can't win but if she siphons off even 10% of R voters in swing states it would keep Trump from winning if he runs.
She’s a Conservative. Are you saying Conservatives don’t belong in the Republican Party?
What if she helped start a separate Conservative party with someone like Jeff Flake and Mitt Romney. Which side would they take votes from, Republicans or Democrats?

Keep dreaming. Neva gonna happen. Her political career is toast.

I am guessing that she would say that that is a small price to pay for helping to expose a plot against democracy in the United States. To help expose the seditious rot that Trumpism brought into the Republican Party. You are thinking politics. She is thinking about the good of the country, and history.

Malignant cancer = democratic politics = rot.
Imagine catering to the absolute lowest common denominator and not having the nuts to snap the line on criminals, illegal immigrants and overall dbags.
^this is the platform that is rotting the US from the inside out.

Plot against democracy? GTFOH with that nonsense. A bunch of yahoos with painted faces & wearing costumes? Puhlease. Get out of your lib cult.

Don't be so sure. Maybe in WY but when she spoke at the Commonwealth Club in SF i know a bunch of libs that paid big bucks to hear her speak.
She has been willing to stand her ground and take all the fire without flinching. Maybe in the short-term - she will lose her re-election bid, but I don't think her political career is quite done yet.

Cheney still embodies Republican policies. It was about a 50/50 split to censure her and dissociate her from the Wyoming Republican party. I could still see her holding onto her position in Wyoming, as she still promotes the values Wyoming residents hold true to (in fact, residents might even appreciate her outlaw stance, as Wyoming was the first state to give women the right to vote). I have stated before that I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 (I voted for McMullin), but I did in 2020 (mainly for Tax reasons and because I saw what the Democratic party had become). I don't care which Republican wins the presidency in 2024. I only care that it isn't a Democrat. All that being said, the Jan. 6th committee is a farce. I appreciate her bravery to stand up for her values, but the one-sided nature of the proceedings is not acceptable.

Ok, but she'll be running against that as well. We'll be rid of Trumpism and the woke culture. You'll have a real rational conservative at the helm not a phony.

Somehow I don’t think she cares. At least she is a woman of principle. From reading your posts you are more than likely a spineless jellyfish with a brain the size of a peanut. Your opinion is insignificant, POS.
He wasn't Trump's attorney, he was the White House (i.e. US government) attorney. And others were in the room. I doubt he has a valid attorney-client privilege claim.
If a lawyer represents a company, the lawyer can talk to multiple people in the company at the same or different times and maintain privilege over all those communications. I can only assume the same applies when a lawyer is talking to government branches or agencies. In other words, the President doesn't have to clear the room every time he wants to talk to the White House lawyer. That would be unworkable and inconsistent with the purpose of the privilege.
Everyone seems to be ignoring the most important part of Hutchinson's testimony.
The steering wheel story only establishes that Trump was angry and wanted to go to the Capitol and nobody is disputing that.
The story about the mags is important because it establishes that Trump knew the crowd had weapons and he sent them to the Capitol anyway. But even that is not the really big stuff.
The really important part of the testimony concerns the Mark Meadows call to the Willard Hotel. I think the J6 committee is building up to the moment that Trump is connected to the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.
Those two groups conspired to attack the Capitol. That much we know for sure as some have already plead guilty to seditious conspiracy. We know it was the Proud Boys who first broke through the barricades at the Peace Circle. And it was one of the Proud Boys who broke the window that first let rioters into the Capitol building.
I believe that the J6 committee will eventually show that Trump knew about the Proud Boys' plot and he directly helped them by illegally sending the crowd to the Capitol. That's why the call to the Willard Hotel is important. The Willard is the place where the "war room" was set up by Drunk Rudy, General Flynn, John Eastman, Roger Stone, and Steve Bannon. It is known from video footage that the Proud Boys were providing security for Roger Stone at the Willard Hotel.
That's why so much time was spent during the hearing establishing that Drunk Rudy told Hutchinson that they were going to go to the Capitol on the 6th. It's why they established that Meadows told Hutchinson, "Things might get real, real bad on January 6th."
I believe that the J6 committee will show that Meadows knew about the attack plans. And so did Trump. This explains why both Meadows and Trump did nothing but watch during the initial hours of the attack.
Except for Trump not being present at the Capitol, everything was going as planned.
LIZ CHENEY: The night before January 6th, President Trump instructed his Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to contact both Roger Stone and Michael Flynn regarding what would play out the next day. Ms. Hutchinson, Is it your understanding that President Trump asked Mark Meadows to speak with Roger Stone and General Flynn on January 5th?
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: That's correct. That is my understanding.
LIZ CHENEY: And Ms. Hutchinson, is it your understanding that Mr. Meadows called Mr. Stone on the 5th?
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: I'm under the impression that Mr. Meadows did complete both a call to Mr. Stone and General Flynn the evening of the 5th.
LIZ CHENEY: And do you know what they talked about that evening, Ms. Hutchinson? CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: I'm not sure.
LIZ CHENEY: Is it your understanding that Mr. Giuliani, Mr. Eastman, and others had set up what has been called, quote, a war room at the Willard Hotel on the night of the 5th?
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: I was aware of that the night of the 5th.
LIZ CHENEY: And do you know if Mr. Meadows ever intended to go to the Willard Hotel on the night of the 5th?
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: Mr. Meadows had a conversation with me where he wanted me to work with Secret Service on a movement from the White House to the Willard Hotel so he could attend the meeting or meetings with Mr. Giuliani and his associates in the war room.
LIZ CHENEY: And what was your view as to whether or not Mr. Meadows should go to the Willard that night?
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: I had made it clear to Mr. Meadows that I didn't believe it was a smart idea for him to go to the Willard Hotel that night. I wasn't sure everything that was going on at the Willard Hotel, although I knew enough about what Mr. Giuliani and his associates were pushing during this period. I didn't think that it was something appropriate for the White House Chief of Staff to attend or to consider involvement in, and made that clear to Mr. Meadows.
Throughout the afternoon, he mentioned a few more times going up to the Willard Hotel that evening, and then eventually dropped the subject the night of the 5th and said that he would dial in instead.
Mark my words. Hutchinson is not the star witness.
We have more hearings ahead. The last one will be in prime time. And it will connect the Proud Boys to Donald Trump.
I like your theory. But trump is so slippery....I fear that as usual all his 'partners' will go down the drain but Trump will survive. Trump is very, very good at hurting people who work for him. And also very good at staying one inch away from being prosecuted.

Trump is the one who told Meadows to get in touch with the war room on the night of January 5th. At the very least, the J6 committee has the phone records to confirm that the call happened.
Both Bannon and Drunk Rudy are on the record hinting or downright saying that their January 6th plan was going to culminate at the Capitol (where there was no permit to demonstrate).
Trump said January 6th would "Be Wild!".
We know the Proud Boys were at the Willard with Roger Stone.
We know the Oath Keepers got in touch with someone on Trump's staff on the 6th (probably Meadows). And the J6 committee probably knows for sure who it was.
We know that the leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers met in person on the 5th.
We know the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers planned to attack the Capitol. It would be quite a stretch to think those in the war room didn't know about it since the Proud Boys were there with them.
There would be no reason for Mark Meadows to meet the people in the war room just to talk about the rally at the Ellipse. Those in the war room weren't involved with the rally planning. The only reason for Meadows to be in contact with the war room was to talk about the attack and discuss the timing of when Trump would direct the mob to march on the Capitol.
And that's just what we know today. There are more hearings to come.
Mark my words. Hutchinson is not the star witness.

Idc if Buddha himself testifies. No one cares about these hearings. What a waste of taxpayers dollars
Enough care about them to move them away from Trump and on to DeSantis. This is probably a good thing for the GOP. The only chance of a Dem win in 2024 is if Trump is the nominee.
Will there be more info about crimes of Flynn and Stone, connected with Oath Keepers? Flynn got pardoned by Trump for lying under oath regarding Russian investigation. Now he's been pleading the 5th, refusing to answer questions on the basis that his answers would incriminate him. What crimes?
